I never read this one as a kid, but finally read it last year. Pretty enjoyable- it felt plausible enough that you could believe he was surviving out there.

For nonfiction, a good source is checking the bibliography or works cited section of the book. Sometimes there will even be a suggested reading section back there, too.

I read the His Dark Materials trilogy for the first time when I was an adult and really enjoyed it. Lots of interesting ideas and the characters have stuck with me! Pullman has also released two out of the three books of a sequel-ish trilogy and when that series is complete I plan to read that one as well!

For me, the main purpose of having books I haven’t read is that I (almost) always have something available when I want to read a new book, no matter what kind of book I’m in the mood for!

And also book shopping and collecting is fun and is a totally separate hobby than reading, ha ha!

Same here. I would love to check out the app when it releases for iOS though.

Keep an eye out for the secret messages you have to decode!
